Paul Whyte

It’s no secret that Paul Whyte and Lane Prekker are not only intertwined into the Twin Ports music scene, they are also in deep with the stars and universe. Yes, this alliance of astrological minds has meticulously read the stars and this is what they came up with about the week of Homegrown 2013. Don’t be upset with them if these horoscopes are spot on, these are the words whispered by the stars. Wisdoms and truths that only the purest of souls could decipher.

Sunday, April 28
Oddly enough everyone’s horoscope is pretty much the same for this day. It doesn’t happen too often, but go have a food fight, take a shower, say “hi” to the Mayor and check out some great shows at Tycoons, Teatro and Luce’. Don’t miss Wolf Blood, the stars where very specific about that.

Monday, April 29
Aries:  You’ll come in with a bang but “peter out” with the first man you meet.
Taurus: If you see Jake Larson smoking in front of an establishment, enter it and see what wonders await.
Gemini: Narum will kiss your beard, enough said.
Cancer: A poem at the Poetry Showcase will help you through this part of your life.
Leo: You’ll be approached today by a Romanian inquiring about a blumpkin. Heiko is calling himself a Romanian now.
Virgo: Don’t be afraid to let Brandon Swanson’s infectious smile rub off on you.
Libra: Go out or stay in? It’s just Monday.
Scorpio: After a long winter, it’s best to keep an open mind and open heart.
Sagittarius: Stay away from wopatui because you may be drowned in sweet pineapple and pickles.
Capricorn: You feel optimistic, yet have restraint. Avoid tequila, it’s bad news for right now.
Aquarius: Once again you’ll fall in love during Homegrown, try to nail them before Tuesday and let them out of your trunk by Wednesday.
Pisces: Go to Planemo at Red Star. The lyrics of some of the songs will be relevant to you within the year. Sorry.

Tuesday, April 30
Aries:  Shame has no place in Homegrown. But since you have none, you’ll be fine. Why didn’t you call back? *Insert emoticon*
Taurus: You will be in the midst of many people, but will be noticed. Just be yourself and others will follow.
Gemini: You will drunkly stumble into a brick wall, only to discover it’s Joey Flynn’s belly.
Cancer: The chances of you finding a $10 or $20 bill on the floor is unusually high today. Maybe just a $5.
Leo: As a Leo you command respect but the fact that you did belly shots off of Fred Tyson leaves you with no respect at all.
Virgo: A last minute delay may alter plans, go with the flow and find something you didn’t know you were seeking.
Libra: A mysterious encounter awaits at the Iron Range Outlaw Brigade show.
Scorpio: Trampled by Turtles will not play that Slayer song you requested.

Capricorn: If you bump into someone at Clyde Iron, introduce yourself after the show.
Aquarius: Hey, have you checked the trunk?
Pisces: Today will be a time for some moderation. You’ll be sober enough to understand this when the time comes.

Taurus: Mikey Talented might just be the best mistake you’ll ever make.
Gemini: Gitchee Gators will emerge from the sewers in search of their favorite chicken snack. Beware of Lake Avenue

Scorpio: Superior Street is your playground, you’re almost there.
Sagittarius: You’re hot from Hattie, you're bothered from Fever Dream. Cars & Trucks will help you regain focus.

Pisces: Get wasted and get kicked out of the Preston Gunderson show while screaming that he’s a Charlie Parr wannabe.
